Administration and Service Fees

Administration and Service Fees ScotiaMcLeod offers a wide range of services to assist you in meeting your investment needs. This brochure outlines service fees which may apply in the administration of your account. Any charges you incur will be clearly marked on your account statement and/or trade confirmation. If you have any questions, please consult your advisor. Interest The annual interest rate we charge on loans to you or pay on credit balances will be linked to the Scotiabank Prime Rate (in the case of amounts denominated in Canadian dollars) or other Scotiabank index rates (in the case of amounts denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars) from time to time in effect. Such annual interest rates will be our prevailing spread from time to time above or below the Scotiabank Prime Rate, or other applicable Scotiabank index rate, as determined by the Bank and is subject to change without notice, may vary according to size and term of the loans or balances and may be subject to certain minimums. Foreign Exchange Where a transaction requires a conversion of currency, we will act as principal with you in converting the currency at rates established or determined by us or parties related to us. The rates are subject to change without notice and may vary according to the market, type of currency in which the transaction occurs and the value of the gross amount of the conversion. Scotia Capital Inc., its employees and parties related to us may earn revenue, in addition to the commission or other fees applicable to the transaction, based on the difference between the applicable bid and ask rates for the currency being converted and the rate at which the currency is offset either internally, with a related third party or in the market. Conversion of currency will take place at the conversion date unless otherwise specified by us or parties related to us. Please contact your advisor directly should you have further questions about the rates or the difference between bid and ask rates. We do not permit foreign currency holdings in registered plans (i.e. RRSP, RRIF). As a result, any transactions in such accounts involving foreign currency will be automatically converted by us into Canadian currency as described above.
